I'd like to know too... I bought the extended warranty and the premium maint. contract (something I NEVER do) - I can just see the Ford guys kicking my future repairs because of "aftermarket" parts...

I figure Ford had this performance parts thing all set to make some extra bucks.Its no different than Chevy and Mopar selling crate engine or resto parts.I just which when you bought a new Mustang they would give the option to but the car with the performance parts(suspension,exhaust etc.) and pay the extra amount right up front.I'm having the the FFRP suspension kit installed tomarow. After this mod a set of wider wheel/tire package.As for using FRPP thats all I'll use for now.I'm sure the aftermarket has some even better quality stuff out there,many of the forum members here have already been using it.Just read all the threads and see whats been working on their new pony cars.

I would be interested in your "experiment" also :eyebulge:Darth said:I figure Ford had this performance parts thing all set to make some extra bucks.Its no different than Chevy and Mopar selling crate engine or resto parts.I just which when you bought a new Mustang they would give the option to but the car with the performance parts(suspension,exhaust etc.) and pay the extra amount right up front.I'm having the the FFRP suspension kit installed tomarow.

I had the FRPP coils and sway bar kit installed and I can only say its awesome.The coils-$200,Sway bar kit frnt/rear $385,install was $400 w/alignment.I did use the stock shocks since they were new but will probably install FRPP struts/shocks later on.pcfrisch said:
One more project next month will be boxed in trailing arms and a panhard bar.One thing I noticed right off the bat was how stable it is,the hiway didn't seem too harsh and it didn't have brake dive on a hard stop.I'm sure there are pros and cons to putting a handling kit on any car but I have absolutly no complaints.If it were not snowing right now I'd be doing a series of stress test up and down I-70(or east and west
).

Thanks, I was thinking about doing that, the only cons I can think of is if you drive it in the snow because it would be lower, also those parking stops.Darth said:I had the FRPP coils and sway bar kit installed and I can only say its awesome.The coils-$200,Sway bar kit frnt/rear $385,install was $400 w/alignment.I did use the stock shocks since they were new but will probably install FRPP struts/shocks later on.

How does it handle during acceleration? does the nose still go up, or is it more steady? Thanks.
I guess it could pass for a snow plow on snowy days..notpcfrisch said:
I really hadn't noticed the car rock back on a hole shot but it sure feels stable.Its funny you mention parking stops because when the car sat higher I couldn't tell or judge positioning when I pulled into the garage for about three weeks after I got the 06',I had someone guide me in a couple of times:laughlitt1 - 16 of 16 Posts
